eg*0_mode, ei*0_mode, or ew*0_mode
The eg*0_mode or ei*0_mode or ew*0_mode environment variable sets an Ethernet
controller to run an AUI, ThinWire, or twisted-pair Ethernet network.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the
show device
command. The Ethernet
controllers start with the letters “eg”, “ei,” or “ew,” for example, ewa0. The third letter is
the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace the asterisk (*) with the adapter
ID letter when entering the command.
The syntax is:
set eg*0_mode
value
or
set ei*0_mode
value
or
set ew*0_mode
value
The options for ei*_mode and ew*_mode
value
are:
Aui
Device type is AUI.
bnc
Device type is ThinWire.
fast
Device type is fast 100BaseT.
Fastfd
Device type is fast full duplex 100BaseT.
full
Device type is full duplex twisted-pair.
twisted-pair
Device type is 10BaseT (twisted-pair).
Auto-Sensing
Sense and adjust to 10/100 MHz speed.
Auto-Negotiate
Automatically negotiates highest common performance with other
network controller(s) supporting IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation.
If no Ethernet cable is connected in this mode, the SRM reports a
failure:
Error (eib0.0.10.0), No link, auto negotiation did not complete.
This is applicable for ei*, ew*, and eg* device in auto negotiate.
